What happens in the wake of the event? Is the event's aftermath always characterised by the experience of disorder, fragmentation, and impermanence? Or, alternatively, can aftermath be seen as a new growth, a second crop of grass that can be sown and reaped and which gives rise to a new integrity, a new unity? The volume's twenty-three essays by scholars from Australia, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, and the United States re-visit the notion and representation of aftermath, understood here widely as a consequence/result/after-effect of a seminal event (to an individual, a community, society, regions or nations), and explore its transformative and life-changing characteristics. While acknowledging disastrous or catastrophic consequences of the event, Aftermath argues in favour of recognising some rejuvenating potential of its after-effects.

The volume deals with ontological and semantical issues concerning things, facts and events. Ontology tells us about what there is, whereas semantics provides answers to how we refer to what there is. Basic ontological categories are commonly accepted along with basic linguistic types, and linguistic types are accepted as basic if and because they refer to acknowledged ontological categories. In that sense, both disciplines are concerned with structure - the structure of the world and the structure of our language. An extended introduction overviews the topic as a whole, presenting in detail its history and the main contemporary approaches and discussions. More than 20 contributions by internationally acknowledged scholars make the volume a comprehensive study of some very fundamental philosophical entities.

Event Representation in Language and Cognition examines new research into how the mind deals with the experience of events. Empirical research into the cognitive processes involved when people view events and talk about them is still a young field. The chapters by leading experts draw on data from the description of events in spoken and signed languages, first and second language acquisition, co-speech gesture and eye movements during language production, and from non-linguistic categorization and other tasks. The book highlights newly found evidence for how perception, thought, and language constrain each other in the experience of events. It will be of particular interest to linguists, psychologists, and philosophers, as well as to anyone interested in the representation and processing of events.

L’enquête linguistique menée dans l’ouvrageo montre que les deux manières de concevoir les événements qui divisent profondément les philosophes contemporains, sont en réalité présentes et pour ainsi dire disponibles dans la pensée inscrite dans les structures d’une langue comme le français. Selon la première conception, qui est aussi la plus répandue, ils sont comme des entités individuelles ordinaires : de deux événements impliquant les mêmes entités, celui-ci est toujours irréductiblement différent de celui- là, ne serait-ce que parce qu’ils n’occupent pas la même portion d’espace-temps. Selon l’autre, ces prétendus individus sont en réalité des instances d’un seul et même événement, qui n’est ni cette instance-ci, ni celle-là. Mais la langue ne choisit pas, et offre la possibilité de passer d’un point de vue à l’autre, en passant simplement d’une structure syntaxique à une autre. Centrée autour des noms d’événements, la démarche commence par situer la notion correspondante dans un réseau où elle voisine avec celles de fait et d’action, entre autres. Elle se termine par une tentative de répondre, toujours par des moyens linguistiques, à la question de savoir si la pensée du temps inscrite dans la langue implique que ce soit le temps qui fonde les événements ou l’inverse. La question, parallèle à celle du rapport entre choses et espace, débouche sur celle de l’expression linguistique de l’existence. L’ouvrage tente donc de remplir sur le sujet des événements la partie linguistique du programme de la philosophie du langage ordinaire, partie que peu de ces philosophes (à l’exception de Vendler) ont pu remplir, faute d’être eux-mêmes linguistes.
